This is my friends motor but its identical to the one ill be driving.

Good shift pattern, no night work and good money plus it keeps me out of the house a bit more so the wife is happy too :laughing: :laughing:

Thanks mate, after looking at jobs now for about 6 months it would seem that where were located this is one of the jobs to have. I already have a couple of friends working there so Im not going into it totally blind. Its all ran by leased operators round here so no actual trucks owned by co op, i was fortunate enough to find a job with one after sending a few emails out. Ill be doing 3 x Regina - Lethbridge runs then taking my time off while the other driver does the same, occassionally we`ll get a different run thrown in but not very often as they prefer my boss to keep running Lethbridge.

Good for you Russ , you’ve done well getting in there with all the ex Mantei drivers looking for work since the rail link , no nights either which must be a bonus . Give yourself a pat on the back mate , your set for long term there if you want it .

Thanks mate and yeah I don’t think there’s much chance of much me moving on from this place any time soon
